3 | Wine | South Australia, 2007

"The 2007 Pinot Noir Cellar Reserve it was fermented with native yeasts, remained on its lees with minimal batonnage, and was bottled without fining or filtration. Medium ruby-colored, it offers up a fragrant perfume of cedar, smoke, violets, black cherry, and black raspberry. Silky on the palate with a bit of underlying structure, it has good depth and concentration, succulent fruit, and 3-4 years of aging potential."

"Sexy, high-pitched aromas of blackberry, cherry-cola, graphite, mint and cured tobacco. Suave, sweet red and dark berry and candied violet flavors stain the palate, with silky tannins providing shape. With air, the minty quality gains strength and carries through the sweet, sappy finish. This energetic wine suavely combines depth and vivacity."

"Purple-colored, it offers an alluring bouquet of spice box, black cherry, blueberry, and a hint of chocolate. This leads to a concentrated, ripe, layered wine with excellent depth and length."

"Lush cherry-vanilla, pipe tobacco and mocha aromas are complemented by a sexy floral quality. Creamy and gently sweet, offering lively red and dark berry flavors, fully absorbed tannins and a late note of licorice. Very easy to drink, with good finishing clarity, breadth and an echo of dark chocolate."

"Lithe, supple and appealing for its wet earth and mineral overtones to the red berry flavors, lingering nicely against a mild grip of savory tannins."
